Lotheracien sat an a small room, the only room she had seen for several days. She was brought food twice a day, and it wasn't that bad of rations, she had had worse. She was wearing simple clothes, which consisted of a plain dress, the color of wood. It was a couple sizes to big for her, but she was thankful she had clothes on. These were the same clothes she had to wear all the time, when not around her master. They smelled pretty bad, but that could be because she had worn them for almost a month or so, she didn't know anymore. She had lost all track of time, and escape from this place would be impossible now. She was no longer on a ship, but on some sort of ground base. She didn't know what planet she was on, or where the closest city was. The first few weeks were the worst for her, being forced to clean floors and walls, and even her master. If she did not obey she would be hit, over and over. So she had learned obedience quick, and did what she was told. Most of the time.
Right now she was told to wait, so she did, sitting on a steel chair, which was not comfortable at all. But that was the point in being a slave. She never thought this would happen to her, she was confused about a lot of things, because she had lived with her family in isolation for several years, hardly ever seeing any other humans, unless they took their ship off planet to get supplies, which they did only now and then, and the one time Loth ever went with her parents was the time they were attacked. She didn't know where her mother or father were, she had asked several times, but no one gave her an answer, so she was close to giving up about asking people.
There were other slaves in this large building, most of them alien and meant for hard labor. She didn't know why she was even here, she was very small and young, not good for any kind of work. But they still made her clean and clean, hardly getting a break in between cleanings.
She looked around the room. There was nothing in her except the chair where she sat, and one door which didn't have a control panel inside the room. She was in a cell. A box, forever to be locked inside.
The door opened and a female alien walked in. Loth didn't know what kind of alien she was, but she was very pretty. She wore a long gown which flowed behind her, and jewelry adorned her neck, hands and head. Her skin was a dark green, almost olive and she was covered in scales, though her face looked quite smooth. She smiled down at Loth, "Good evening my child." She said bowing to her, "My name is Rusdtha, I am here to get you dressed up." She gestured to the bundle in her arms. Loth was now standing and backed up against the far wall, not sure about this person.
Rusdtha smiled and laid the clothes in the chair and extended her hand, "I mean you no harm, I am a slave like you." Her eyes were an orange red, which slightly clashed with her skin. Loth looked at the hand then placed hers in it and Rusdtha pulled her towards the chair, much more gently then how she had been treated ever since she was taken.
Rusdtha grabbed the dress she had brought in and unfolded it and showed it to Loth, who didn't really care what it looked like. "I believe this one wil look nice on you." The alien stated, as she examined the red dress. It was a deep red, a color Loth never thought looked good on her, but she didn't care anymore. Rusdtha lifted the ratty dress Loth had been wearing and threw it into the corner. Loth cringed back, but a hand stopped her from going to far. "Be easy, I am only dressing you. I am sure you don't want to be in that old dress forever."
Loth bit her bottom lip and came forward again, and Rusdtha brought out a damp cloth and started wiping Loth's face off, then her shoulders. She wiped the child of all dirt which was stuck to her skin, then turned and grabbed the dress again and slipped it over Loth's head. She pulled it down until it fell into place on the small body. Loth looked at herself, seeing how it looked. It fitted her pretty tight, but not so tight that it was small. It had no sleeves, and the back was pretty open and low cut. The front had a V neck, which also went quite low, but not so low it felt uncomfortable. Rusdtha smiled and grabbed a gold necklace and reached around Loth's neck and clasped it. This too, had red in it; a ruby which hung off the gold chain which was tight up against her neck. Rusdtha continued to put jewelry on Lotheracien, until her hands had rings on them, and her wrists had bracelets. Next was her hair, which was badly tangled. But the alien managed to brush the tangles out, and then started braiding it. This all took about an hour and Loth hadn't said word, she just did as she was told.
Rusdtha stepped back and looked at Loth from the other side on the room. "Your beutiful." She said to her, another smiled on her face. But in her eyes was a sadness, and Loth could feel something was wrong. "Now, we don't want to keep him waiting do we?" She said, walking over and putting an arm around her shoulder. She pressed a button on her wrist and the door slid upwards. She guided Loth down the halls she had cleaned just a little while ago.
"Where are we going?" Loth managed to say, and the look on Rusdtha's face was of stone. She looked down at her, a frown on her face now. "To see our master." She told her.
"Why am I dressed up then?" Questions starting to form in her mind, ones she would ask.
"Too look nice." She told her, stroking her hair.
"Why haven't I heard of you before?" Loth asked, wanting to know who this person really was.
She shook her head, "I'm not allowed to get out very much, I'm suppose to stay hidden."
"Why?"
"No more time for questions my dear, we have to hurry." She quickened her pace and then after a few minutes of walking they came to a door and again she pressed something on her wrist and it opened. This room was huge, much bigger then the small room Loth had been locked up in. And in this room, there were decorations on the wall and statues on the floor. A large padded chair was in the middle of the room, with a man sitting in it. He smiled when the two walked in and he stood, a long velvet cape following him as he walked up to them. Rusdtha went onto her knees, pulling Loth with her. Their master extended his hand and Rusdtha kissed it. he them put it in front of Loth and the didn't move. Rusdtha nudged her slightly, but she refused to give him that sort of respect. He frowned, then drew a knife from somewhere, and held it up to her face, "You will give me the respect I deserve, girl!" He said, his voice full of menace, like how it sounded when she refused to clean.
"Please sir, she hasn't learned what she is suppose to do yet. I have not run through with her, how this all works." Rusdtha said in a pleading voice. He looked over at her, a smirk on his face. "Very well, I give you three days to get her to show me respect, and do what I tell her to do."
Rusdtha bowed her head even more, "Thank you master."
He still had the smirk on his face when he turned walked back to his chair, "Stand up, I wish to see what you have done with her so far. Rusdtha stood, again dragging Loth with her. They walked up to his chair, Loth not looking at the man sitting in it. He put his finger up and trwiled it around in circles and Rusdtha turned around with Loth. They remained with their backs to him until he cleared his voice and they turned to face him once more.
"She looks decent for now, though still very small." He stood, walking around Loth, who remained rigged, her eyes avoiding him. He then walked around Rusdtha, "Though she will never compare to you." He said, his hand touching her face. He walked away from the two and stood in front of his chair, not sitting this time, "Take her back to her room, and teach her some manners, then I want to see you tonight."
Rusdtha bowed slightly, "Yes master." She said. She turned yet again and walked out with Loth, leading her back to her room.
